I know quite a bit about Shingles because my husband had it, my sister had it & now my Mom has it for the 3rd time in her later, adult life.
What I can't seem to get a definate answer on is the prognosis...is it rare to get Shingles more then once? Some Docs say yes & some say the Shingles can reoccur many times.
What do you think?

My friend told me that chewing too much gum is bad for a person because it tricks one's brain into thinking that the person is eating something; thus the brain get the digestive system going and the stomach acids pumping, which is bad because that person really isn't eating anything.

Regardless if this is true or not, I've heard many other scenarios like this one where one somehow "tricks his/her brain". My question is, how is this trickery even possible? If YOU know that you aren't eating anything, how is it possible to trick your brain, which is essentially you, into thinking that you are. If you know something, shouldn't your brain know it too?

Hi,
i've been having diarrhoea quite often recently. It seemed to happen in around May (which is quite long ago) after i had a very bad bout of stomach flu (however, i'm not sure if that could have caused it). Usually it starts off with the normal faeces, and then after the first half comes out, the next half is more "watery". This seems to happen more often than it should (at least in my opinion. Sometimes i get it two or three times a week. Is that too much?). It does not hurt at all.

And when i don't have diarrhoea (i.e. it's normal) and i clean myself with tissue, i notice tiny blood stains on the tissue. I THINK they're usually bright red. And they're usually just two tiny spots that appear to be about 2 to 3cm away from the anus.

I thought it might be IBS, or just me over-worrying. Can anyone give me some advice and perhaps any other possible conditions which might be causing this?

I woke up at four in the morning because he punched me really hard in the middle of my back. He kept his fist out and in my back until I said, "Stop! You're hurting me!" I started crying because it hurt so bad! He feels awful about it and has been apologizing all day. Is there any way to help him sleep soundly without flailing around?

I'm a 24-year-old college student, and over the summer my parents found out I smoke marijuana and gave me a couple urine tests. I decided to stop smoking completely for the entire summer (without any difficulty, I must add), so I passed both tests. Now I'm back at school and smoking a few times a week, but I'm concerned my parents may test me again when I come home for Thanksgiving. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to test negative, in case they test me again. I'm willing to stop smoking again until Thanksgiving if it comes down to that, but I want to see what other options I have. A local head shop sells a drink called Detoxify, which they say diverts the THC metabolites into your colon or something so that it won't show up in your urine for a few hours. That sounds good, but I'm not sure if it's 100% reliable, and I heard some tests can detect these drinks, although the people at that head shop say it won't show up because it doesn't mask the THC. Any advice?
